House Republicans who have not been able to cobble together a budget bill that they can send to the floor for a vote are being warned by members of Donald Trump's inner circle that they will face his wrath in the coming week.

According to a report from Politico's Rachel Bade, the president is furious with the House Budget Committee for failing to reach an agreement on his "big beautiful" bill which led to a flurry of attacks from Trump on Truth Social as returned from his trip in the Middle East on Friday.

As the report noted, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) is on the spot, pointing out, "This has mostly been Johnson’s problem to solve, and he and other GOP leaders have tried to be sensitive to not pulling Trump in too early to fix their problems."

With Bade writing, "There’s an internal understanding that they need to do most of the cleanup on their own before calling dad and tattling on the naughty kids," one White House insider texted to Bade, "Republicans on the Hill need to figure their s--t out.”

2. I love it.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

[PerceptionManagement]

3. you'd think sooner or later regugs would get tired of this lame duck pos

[hildegaard28]

4. They should probably

Be more afraid of their constituents than Trump. Lately, Trump has been a pox on political campaigns. He won't have the appeal that he once had, especially after he tanks the economy. The voters, on the other hand, can easily vote them out next time. They seem to forget who they are supposed to answer to, and it's not Donald Trump.

5. A DIFFERENT WORLD

If Biden had threatened Democrats, the right wing blogsphere and Fox News would still be screaming about it. But about Trump they say nothing, just like they never commented on the "grab 'em by the pussy" tape or his conviction on sexual assault. Apparently the right thinks threats are just AOK.

6. A double standard for trump? I am shocked, I tell you, SHOCKED!

[Walleye]

7. I got news for the congressional Republicans. All of their jobs are in jeopardy right now from the voters not Trump.

[Iamscrewed]

8. When

Are these idiots going to turn on krasnov?

[Leghorn21]

9. Ha ha ha, this makes my day!!!!!

Hey, is this yet *another* job for Lil Mario, threatening recalcitrant house magas?
Did they get an email from Big Balls telling them of their below par job performance?


Repeat: HA HA HA, FUCKERS

10. They'll cower and submit

But if they had any self-respect, they'd fight him with everything they got.
Cower and submit seems much more likely.

[Rebl2]

11. 👏👏👏

Glad they fear for their jobs and I don’t really care

[Diamond_Dog]

12. They could solve their problems

if each and every one stood together against him. Like that would happen.

[Born Free]

16. New Republicans

If there are any Republicans actually caring about USA, they could form a third party, something like "New Republicans" it would change everything, as the current MAGA controlled group would no longer be the majority. However, I doubt any Republican really cares, these reports are just another way to give the appearance they care but are too afraid to do anything. I bet behind closed doors they are laughing at the scam they are pulling. Every Republican is responsible and needs to be held accountable by the voters. Full and absolute accountability needs to be the main point Democrats push these days.

13. The shit Republicans need to figure our

Is that there is an out of control, Nazi cabal attempting to destroy our republic. And they better understand, if they let this shit continue, their careers will be the least of their worries.

[DENVERPOPS]

17. All the Republicans

In the House and Senate, as well as the US Supreme Court had better wake up........and realize:
There is no Judicial or Legislative Branch of Government in a Tyranny/Dictatorship.....Once they all have outgrown their usefulness, they will be thrown under the bus like everyone else his entire life, and especially since 2016, and it is accelerating.....

[synni]

14. I read on Yahoo Finance that McDonald's is hiring

All these Republican congresscritters need to do is go to night school for a few weeks, and they'll qualify to be hired.

[republianmushroom]

15. Keep fucking over the tax payer and see how your

careers continue.

[Picaro]

18. Yes, their careers are in danger

This is a classic between a rock and a hard place.

Unless elections are completely cancelled many will be in serious danger of losing their seats.

But if they don’t comply they may be in danger of their lives.

[Figarosmom]

19. You can only use the same threat

So many times before it just becomes noise and the recipients just say go ahead do what you gotta do, I'm tired of it.

[sakabatou]

20. Because fealty to Dump is more important than fealty to the US.

[perdita9]

21. Dance with the devil and you're sure to get scorched

No sympathy for those who thought they could use Trump's power without consequences.

[taxi]

22. It is one thing for these GOP lawmakers to be this far out of touch. It's another thing

that after nearly two decades of support for these policies that they still can't read the room.
There is no need for any of us to offer solutions to save them; no need to suggest changes to their party, no need to inform their constituents of what to look for in their candidates. The best advice I have for any elected republican is to just keep doing what you're doing, and make sure your constituents are very well informed of all that you do.
